THE BEST LEADERS WILL

STAY HUMAN! 

STAY HUMAN - LEAD BOLDLY - USE AI WISELY

BRING THIS WORKSHOP TO YOUR TEAM!

AI IS HERE.
MOST LEADERS AREN'T READY!


Your inbox is flooded with AI news.
Your LinkedIn feed is all hype.
Your team is experimenting—but you’re not sure if they’re ahead of the curve or heading for disaster.

 

You don’t need to be a tech expert.
But you do need to know how to lead in this new world.

Here’s what’s holding most leaders back:

DROWNING IN HYPE

AI is everywhere. Everyone is talking about it.
But no one is explaining what it actually means for leaders.
You don’t need more noise. You need a plan.

UNSURE WHAT TOOLS TO USE

ChatGPT? Claude? Microsoft Copilot? Something else?
Every week, there’s a new tool—but which ones actually help you lead better?

FEELING PRESSURE FROM YOUR TEAM

Some of your team are using AI. Others are skeptical.
You don’t know if you should set direction, create guardrails, or bring everyone onto the same page.

CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE

AI is changing everything. Some say it’s a threat. Others say it’s the future.
What does it actually mean for your leadership today?

WORRIED ABOUT FALLING BEHIND

Other companies—maybe even other teams in your org—are starting to use AI.
But you’re not sure where to start, or if you’re already behind.

NO TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT

Your plate is already full. You barely have time for your real job—let alone keeping up with AI.
You need something that works now—not another tech rabbit hole to disappear into.

AI is moving fast. It’s normal to feel behind. But you don’t need to become a tech expert—
You just need to learn how to Stay Human and lead with confidence in the age of AI.

LEAD SMARTER. LEAD FASTER. LEAD HUMAN.


90 days from now, your leaders won’t just be using AI.
They’ll be leading with it—boldly, wisely, and without losing what makes them human.

CONFIDENT AI-DRIVEN DECISIONS

 

Cut through the noise. Make faster, smarter calls.

Use AI for insight—not as a crutch.

 

 

ALIGNED TEAMS

Stop AI chaos before it starts.
Get your team on the same page, streamline communication,
and turn AI into a force multiplier for collaboration.

EMPOWERED EMPLOYEES

AI won’t replace your people.
But leaders who ignore it might.
Equip your team with the right tools, the right way.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

Automate the busywork. Free up time for real leadership.
More focus. Less burnout. Bigger impact.

BETTER OUTCOMES

Use AI to clarify priorities, craft better messages, and drive results that last.

FUTURE PROOF LEADERS

AI is moving fast. Most leaders will react.
The best will lead.
This program gives your team the edge.

YOUR LEADERS NEED A HUMAN-FIRST AI-ROADMAP


Because AI won’t lead your team. You will.

 

Most leaders are either overwhelmed by AI or ignoring it.
Neither works.

 

This workshop gives you a simple, practical, human-first roadmap to leading in the AI era.


No fluff. No jargon. Just what works.

ALIGNMENT

STAY HUMAN, LEAD WITH CLARITY

Before diving into AI, your leaders will reconnect with what makes them human—wisdom, intuition, and judgment. They’ll strip away the noise, define what great leadership looks like in an AI-driven world, and identify where AI can amplify—not replace—their strengths. This is about more than just learning a tool; it’s about leading with conviction in an era of uncertainty.

IMMERSIVE PROGRAM
A ONE-DAY TRANSFORMATION

Your leaders won’t just learn about AI—they’ll experience what it means to lead with it. Through real-world scenarios, they’ll see how AI can sharpen their decision-making, deepen trust, and unlock time for what matters most: leading people, not managing tasks. This isn’t another training day—it’s a shift in how they think, act, and show up as leaders.

IMPLEMENTATION

A FUTURE THAT STAYS HUMAN

A workshop sparks change, but real transformation happens in the days that follow. Over the next 90 days, your leaders will have the tools, frameworks, and support to make AI a seamless part of how they lead—without losing the human connection that sets great leaders apart. This isn’t just about keeping up with technology—it’s about shaping the future of leadership, one decision at a time.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

Hey, I’m Dave McKeown.

 

For 20 years, I’ve worked with leaders at some of the most forward-thinking companies in the world—Apple, Google, Salesforce, Akamai.

 

I’ve seen leadership at its most inspiring. And I’ve seen what happens when it loses its way.

 

Here’s the truth: Technology was supposed to make leadership easier.

 

More data. More insights. More efficiency.

But that’s not what happened, is it?

Instead, it’s made everything more complex.

 

Leaders are drowning in information, struggling to keep up, losing the time and space to do what only humans can—think deeply, decide wisely, and lead with heart.

 

And now, AI has arrived—promising to change everything.

The ones who get ahead? They won’t resist it. They won’t fear it.

 

They’ll use it. But they won’t become it.

 

Because leadership isn’t just about making decisions faster. It’s about making them better.

 

And AI can’t replace the things that make great leaders great.

 

It can’t build trust. It can’t inspire people. It can’t lead with courage when the answer isn’t clear.

 

That’s why I created Stay Human.

 

Not to teach leaders how to keep up with AI.

 

But to help them lead in a way that AI can never replace.

 

Because the future won’t belong to the most automated leaders.

 

It’ll belong to the most human ones.

 

Let’s take the first step toward leading the future—without losing ourselves along the way.

ONE DAY TO TRANSFORM HOW YOU LEAD!


A high-impact, hands-on experience that helps leaders use AI as a force multiplier—without losing what makes them human.

 

Because AI isn’t the biggest shift in leadership today.
Forgetting what makes you human is.

 

This isn’t another AI training.
It’s a leadership reset.


A roadmap for leading in a world where technology is getting smarter—
but leadership still belongs to those who can think, feel, and decide like a human.

 

Here are the key shifts you’ll discover:

SHIFT 1: LEADING IN THE AGE OF AI

📌 The Shift You Can’t Ignore

 

AI is rewriting how we work. The best leaders don’t resist it—they learn how to use it without losing their edge.

 

✅ The big mindset shift every leader needs to make.
✅ Where humans still have the competitive advantage over AI.
✅ How to stay ahead of the curve without chasing every shiny new tool.

 

You don’t need to become a machine.
You just need to lead like a human.

SHIFT 2: THE 8 CATALYSTS TO STAY HUMAN

📌 The Leadership Edge AI Can’t Replace

 

AI is getting smarter. Faster. More capable.

But the best leaders? They’re doubling down on what makes them irreplaceable.

 

✅ The 8 Catalysts—the core human strengths that set great leaders apart in the age of AI.
✅ Why AI makes these skills more valuable, not less.
✅ How to develop them daily—so you lead with wisdom, not just efficiency.

 

Because leadership isn’t about outpacing AI.
It’s about amplifying what makes you human.

SHIFT 3: SMARTER, FASTER DECISIONS WITH AI

📍 Cut Through the Noise and Make Better Calls

 

Leadership is decision-making.
And in a world drowning in data, making the right calls matters more than ever.

 

✅ How to use AI to cut through the noise—so you get insights, not overwhelm.
✅ The 3-step framework for AI-assisted decision-making.
✅ How to balance speed and wisdom—so you move fast without losing trust.

 

AI can analyze.
But you still need to decide.

 SHIFT 4: AI FOR TEAM ALIGNMENT & COMMUNICATION

📍 How to Lead Humans in an AI-Powered World
 

AI can streamline communication.
But it can’t build real alignment, trust, and clarity.

 

✅ How to use AI to clarify team goals, expectations, and workflows.
✅ Where AI can improve team meetings, feedback, and collaboration.
✅ How to lead AI adoption without resistance or fear.

 

Because leadership isn’t just about knowing what to do.
It’s about bringing everyone with you.

 SHIFT 5: AI FOR DELEGATION, COACHING, AND FEEDBACK

📍 AI Can’t Lead Your People—But It Can Help You Do It Better

 

Your people need more than efficiency. They need clarity. Encouragement. Coaching.

 

✅ How to delegate smarter using AI—so you get more done in less time.
✅ Interactive exercise: Use AI to coach a struggling team member—without sounding robotic.
✅ Real-world scenario: Draft empathetic, clear feedback with AI—so you build trust, not resentment.

 

AI can write the words.
But you make them matter.

 SHIFT 6: LEADERSHIP ACTION PLAN FOR AI INTEGRATION

📌 From Theory to Practice—Your AI-Ready Leadership Plan

 

This isn’t about ideas. It’s about action.

 

✅ Your personal AI leadership playbook—customized for your role and team.
✅ 30/60/90-day roadmap for integrating AI without losing your leadership instincts.
✅ How to measure success—so AI helps you lead better, not just faster.

 

By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear, actionable plan to lead with confidence.

 

Not more artificial.
More human.

LEAD SMARTER WITH AI. LEAD BETTER BY  STAYING HUMAN!


AI is changing how leaders make decisions, run meetings, and communicate.

 

But here’s the problem: Most leaders don’t know how to use it in a way that actually makes them better.

 

Some ignore it.
Some over-rely on it.
Some don’t know where to start.

 

And the result?

❌ Missed opportunities.
❌ Slower decisions.
❌ Disconnected teams.

 

The leaders who thrive in this era won’t be the ones who just work harder.

They’ll be the ones who work smarter.
With AI.
And with more of what makes them human.

 

Because AI can optimize, automate, and predict.
But it can’t inspire, connect, or lead.

 

This is your edge. This is what AI can’t replace. This is how you stay human.

 

Let’s get started.

THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP STARTS HERE


Your leaders don’t need more AI hype. They need practical, human-centered ways to lead in the AI era.

Let’s build them a workshop that gives them exactly that.
Stay human, Always!
